Causes of prolonged menstrual cycles

Causes of prolonged menstrual cycles:

The reasons for prolonged menstrual cycles are mainly related to physiological factors, but may also be caused by pathological factors such as pelvic inflammatory disease and uterine fibroids. Patients should seek medical attention in a timely manner if they experience any discomfort.

1. Physiological factors: The length of the menstrual cycle is also related to personal physique, which is different for each person, so the specific menstrual cycle will also vary. Under normal circumstances, the menstrual cycle is generally around 28 to 35 days. If the patient is within this range, no special treatment is usually required, which is a normal phenomenon. A long menstrual cycle may also be related to factors such as mental stress and overwork. At this time, proper relaxation and increased rest can improve it.

2. Pathological factors:

1. Pelvic inflammation: refers to pelvic inflammation, which is usually caused by pathogenic bacteria infection, bad hygiene habits and other factors. Symptoms usually appear after the disease, such as lower abdominal pain, increased vaginal discharge, abnormal vaginal bleeding, prolonged menstruation, fever, headache, etc. Pelvic inflammation can also cause changes in the menstrual cycle. After the disease, you can take metronidazole tablets, levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules, cefuroxime capsules and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Uterine fibroids: refers to benign tumors that occur in the smooth muscle or connective tissue of the uterus. The causes of their formation are usually related to genetic factors, sex hormone disorders and other factors. The disease can cause symptoms such as prolonged menstruation, changes in menstrual cycles, increased vaginal discharge, back pain, lower abdominal swelling, etc. If the uterine fibroids are too large, surgical treatments such as myomectomy and hysterectomy can be considered under the guidance of a doctor.

In addition to the common causes mentioned above, it may also be related to other causes such as premature ovarian failure. It is recommended to seek medical attention in time to identify the cause.
